Incumbent Republican Senator Tasker Oddie ran for re-election to a third term, but lost to Democratic challenger Pat McCarran, due to the Republican party's unpopularity due to the Great Depression and Franklin D. Roosevelt's coattails in the concurrent presidential election.
Primary elections Primary elections were held on September 6, 1932. However, each candidate ran unopposed for their party in this election, so there were no primary elections.
